About this video
Runtime: 46 minsIsabelle Hamley talks about the passages and topics from the bible that are unpreachable. She discusses the challenges of interpreting difficult texts in the Old Testament, particularly those involving violence, abuse, and complex moral issues. Hamley emphasizes the importance of reading these texts responsibly and faithfully, considering the context, genre, and cultural differences. She argues persuasively that difficult texts should not be ignored or explained away but engaged with to understand their deeper meanings and implications. The author also highlights the need for readers to reflect on their own biases and perspectives, and to approach the texts with humility and openness to the otherness of scripture.
